Thanks for the hint, that thing was driving me wild.

But I noticed that lines 1-30 in that file contain all the dictionaries,
then lines 31-60 contain the same thing. Is this duplication deliberate
and purposeful, or should I bugzilla it?

Also, is the loading of *every single* dictionary done for an important
reason? It basically locks up my box (P3-1200, 512MB) for almost a
minute. And this is *every* time one opens the app for the first time.
Are there plans to change this, or again is this deliberate?

Cheers,
